Steps to make Applebee's Quesadilla Burger Copycat:
- In a medium bowl mix all ingredients for pico de gallo together until well incorporated. In a small bowl wisk together ingredients for mexi-ranch until blended. Cover both and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Form ground beef into 4 burger patties. Season with salt and pelper if desired (I didnt bother becsuse there's enough salt everywhere else hete). Grill burgers to desired doneness (or to at least 160°F internal temp if you're a stickler on that).
- While burgers grill heat a large skillet over medium heat. Working with 4 tortillas at a time, brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter. Place buttered side down in skillet. Spread 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in an even layer over each tortilla. Cook until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden on bottom.
- Transfer tortillas to plates, 2 per plate, cheese side up. Repeat with remaining 4 tortillas.
- To Assemble: Place one burger patty on what will be the bottom tortilla, top with pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, then a couple spoonfuls of mexi-ranch. Place other tortilla, cheese side doen, on top. Press everything together. Eat. Enjoy!
Then shortly after that, I heard a news report that was telling the most unhealthy things to eat at restaurants. Place a cooked burger on top, then top with more cheese, and cup pico de gallo and a drizzle of sour cream. Look for the jalapeno "nacho slices" in the ethnic or Mexican food section of the supermarket.
